In 1990, a congressional subcommittee warned of financial knaves and buccaneers in the insurance industry-unlicensed and largely unregulated companies that operate out of countries like Antigua and the Cayman Islands and sell hundreds of millions of dollars in worthless insurance policies to unsuspecting Americans every year.
Increasingly, when a fire, car accident, or medical emergency strikes, policyholders suddenly find themselves victims of a global con game as phone calls are not returned and claim settlements fall to materialize, resulting in financial ruin if not physical harm.
Global Pirates is a critical investigation of international insurance fraud.
Robert Tillman portrays the often surreal world of the burgeoning offshore insurance industry; a world in which sophisticated white-collar criminals operate beyond the reach of government regulators to set up elaborately orchestrated scams that drain illegal profits out of the $3 trillion U.S.
insurance market.
He also describes how the new global economy allows these scam artists to take advantage of rapidly changing financial markets and the regulatory environments that surround them.

Since the last Financial Stability Assessment Program (FSAP), the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has kept an active pace in implementing reforms to enhance the resilience of the Australian financial system.
APRA has implemented key elements of the international regulatory reform agenda, at times going beyond the agreed minimum standards to provide additional resilience.
APRA has focused on strengthening the capital framework, implementing Basel III liquidity standards, reinforcing sound mortgage lending standards, improving governance and accountability, and strengthening crisis management and preparedness.
Since some of these reforms have not been fully completed, they remain on APRA’s priority agenda.
Other broad policy reforms have been also enacted, including: a cross-industry risk management standard, a governance and risk management framework for conglomerates, and a phased approach to licensing.
In addition to these policy developments, APRA has also taken steps to align its resources to evolving market needs.
It has restructured its specialist risk and supervision teams to develop a new risk and data analytics function, bringing together specialists in statistics, industry analysis, and risk, to best harness this collective expertise.
In accordance with its risk-based approach, APRA has also focused its supervisory activities more on reviewing banks’ practices and underwriting standards in the area of residential mortgages and commercial real estate lending, in addition to other risk areas.
